July 17, 2011 BeautyTips

Every woman’s daily activities involves looking at her own reflection in a mirror and figuring out what health and beauty products would enhance her best features and what would be right if applied on the features she wants to hide. Not only women, these days metrosexual men are also bending towards various cosmetics to make themselves socially ‘presentable’ and ‘acceptable’. However, irrespective of whoever uses those, there are certain guidelines, which would determine that you are laying your hands on the right health and beauty products. This will also keep adverse reactions and side-effects at bay. Some of the most important factors to look for are given as under:
Determining the best health and beauty products
Did you know that after about 8 years of research and experiment, the scientist at Johnson and Johnson claimed to have developed a cream that would harness body’s natural bioelectricity to heal it? However, before using any new product or technology you must test a sample of it for effectiveness. These days you can ask for samples from a reputed online retailer of health and beauty products. Do not try meds just because you have seen someone using those with visible results. You might have different symptoms that need to be dealt with differently. Thus, it is better to consult your beauty and health care expert before trying anything. Read the product listings to have a clear idea regarding the ingredients and cautions to know if the health and beauty products you are buying do not turn fatal for your health.
Cost of the best beauty products
With the advent of the online pharmacies selling beauty and health care products, you do not have to spend a fortune in buying the best quality meds. When it comes to buying health and beauty products from online pharmacy stores, the cost has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the products. You can buy best quality meds across the Web without fishing out a lot of money. In addition to the discounted rates that these online retailers offer, there are loads of attractive offers and rebates that are often put up for sale in these sites. These factors further reduce the rates of the health and beauty products.
If you are looking around for first class service with skin and health care products, one of the best recommendations would be Medicine4me.co.uk. This is the online pharmacy of the Chemicrest Limited. As it is registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, you can be sure that you would get the best products. It also promises to provide best rates in the markets.
As we become more aware of our environment and more aware of the products that we are putting into and onto our bodies, natural and homeopathic products are taking the cosmetic industry by storm.

It’s likely you’ve noticed new skincare and cosmetic companies popping up with ‘all natural’ and ‘organic’ products. Of course, just because they say they are, does not necessarily make it true. That is where consumer education comes in, and why it is so important.

The title of this article is ‘Mineral Makeup’. After learning what mineral makeup is, what products go into it, and what its benefits are, you can decide if this is the right choice for you.

What Is Mineral Makeup?

Mineral makeup is designed from all naturally occurring products. It is often recommended by dermatologists to women with sensitive skin, rosacea, post operative, laser and other procedures because of its intrinsic skin soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a powder makeup of finely milled minerals. It can provide very sheer or very opaque coverage, depending on the formulation and application. However, it still allows natural skin radiance to show through, so you don’t get the dreaded ‘mask’ look. It is typically free of fragrance and preservatives. Minerals cannot feed bacteria, so there is no danger of spoilage, thus it needs no preservatives. It does not go bad. It is very good for oily skin because it has several oil- absorbing components.

It is usually applied with a brush, and is typically shown to be ‘buffed’ into the skin. This technique forces the makeup into your pores, which is never a good thing. A technique that works with better quality mineral makeup (which we’ll discuss later) is to ‘dust” the makeup on, instead of ‘buffing’ it. If a brush irritates your skin, you can also use a non-latex or flocked sponge. Application can be done either wet or dry.

What Are The Ingredients?

This is the most important part. Learning what is in your makeup will give you the ability to choose what will meet your needs best. These are the ingredients you will most likely come across.

• Titanium Dioxide- A white natural sunscreen and anti-inflammatory agent. It is highly reflect, with only a diamond being higher, and thus minimizes fine lines and some skin discolorations.

• Zinc Oxide- A natural sunscreen providing broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

• Sericite- A colorless mica that can be used to cut the opacity of Titanium Dioxide and also works as an oil absorber.

• Cornstarch/ Rice Powder- Cosmetic grade- An oil humectant (draws oil out of the pores). Can make acne worse as it is a source of food for bacteria.

• Kaolin Clay- Natural oil-absorption.

• Mica- Natural ‘glitter’. Provides shimmer and sparkle.

• Iron Oxides- Natural pigment- very opaque. Used for tinting cosmetics.

Ingredients To Avoid

These ingredients are also common, but can cause problems so are best to avoid.

• Talc/ Various Powders- Common fillers- can cause respiratory problems.

• FD&C Dyes- Derived from coal tar.

• Bismuth Oxychloride- Known skin irritant- causes itching, rashes and breakouts. Especially prevalent when the wearer sweats.

• Ferric Ferrocyanide- Controversial because of its suspected toxicity.

• Carmine- Crushed beetles.

What Brand Should I Buy?

Well, if you’re familiar with mineral makeup, it’s likely you’ve seen the infomercials. After further research you’ll find these companies use controversial ingredients, and charge quite a bit for their products.

There are several good mineral makeup companies out there that provide a much better product at a more affordable price, as well as a superior customer experience. They also offer samples, which the larger companies do not. You will get to try the makeup (unlike in the drugstore!) for a fraction of the cost before you buy it. They do not have expensive advertising and packaging to pay for, so the savings are often passed on to you.
